    S3E04 Meaning as a System

    In this Danger Mouth episode, the team dissects "Meaning" via the ABCM model (Autonomy, Belonging, Competence, Meaning). Darrell defines meaning as the coherence between purpose, pattern, and participation. Personal drivers range from legacy and human connection to the joy of play. They analyze societal S-curves, arguing that crises require "Yellow" systemic thinkers to guide "Orange" executors. Ultimately, solving ethical contradictions and honoring human complexity are vital for navigating today’s global shifts.

    S3E02 The Disruption Fallacy

    Find the Gap! The DangerMouth team likes breaking things, (at least Mikey does).  We love disruption. But boundaries and reality are a very good check on mindless vandalism. Our guest today Costas Papaikonomu, has many scars from trendy, bold, brazen and totally misguided disruption efforts and experienced the wretched consequences. He makes a compelling case for exploring the often over looked and incredibly fertile territory of the adjacent possible, and spells out the hard earned heuristics that enabled him to make many an omelette without breaking any eggs. He has even written a brilliant book about it The Disruption Fallacy
